Darkness Surrounds Me
The darkness surrounds me constantly,
My son is my sunshine and he's not with thee.
Love was lost when my husband left,
I lost my heart to it felt.
I let my son be with him because it was best he stay,
Because I had no way to support him, no place to lay.
I did what was best for him,
Now my sunshine is gone which is him.
I need to get it back now,
I just dont know how
I know the day will come,
With gods help, united again we will become.
As long as my son is safe and happy
I will deal with the darkness and pain,
Because he's whats important above everything
So please God keep watch over my son.
Dont let him suffer as I have done.
All this darkness and pain I have wrought,
Keep jacob safe, dont let it be for naught

Sunshine vs. Darkness
The sunshine keeps the darkness away. The darkness takes over but soon the sunshine takes over again when its raining sunshine still comes through. We always want sunshine to light our way. But others want the darkness to stay around. When darkness falls many people come alive, others sleep and wait for the sunshine to come again. We all want different things for sunshine or for darkness. Some love the sunshine others love darkness. I see all the saddness when its sunshine. But yet the darkness I see all happiness. Sunshine brings saddness and the darkness brings happiness and excitement!

Where Is My Sunshine?
Darkness and pain surrounds me no sunlight to guide me
Where is my sunshine?
I see others smiling and having fun but all I can do is watch
Where is my sunshine?
Depressed and unhappy I put a fake smile on my face for my friends
Where is my sunshine?
I wonder why the grey cloud follows me aroun and why I cry myself to sleep every night I yell for help oping and praying someone will pull me out of the darkness and from under the grey cloud but no one comes
So I ask Where Is My Sunshine! ? ! ?

Dont Change On Me
Girl, youre my sunshine,
Take away the raindrops,
You make it all worthwhile,
Make all the pain stop.
Just like a river,
Keep love flowin,
Dont let our world stop,
Gotta keep it goin.
Well, I love you just the way you are,
Honey, dont change on me,
Dont change on me,
Dont change on me, yeah.
Girl, youre my lucky star,
Honey, dont change on me,
Dont change on me,
I said, dont ya change on me.
I used to wonder
Where would I ever find
A-some kinda happiness and peace of mind.
I was lured by the darkness,
And then you came,
Bringin the sunshine,
Easin the pain.
I love ya just the way you are,
Honey, dont change on me,
Dont change on me,
I said, dont change on me.
Girl,
Girl, youre my lucky star,
Honey, dont change on me,
Dont change on me,
Lord, dont ya change on me.
If theres a heaven,
Then this is my prayer,
I wanna know,
I wanna know if we will meet there,
And there forever
[wont] get together
In the sunshine,
No more stormy weather.
Well, I love ya just the way you are,
Honey, dont change on me,
Dont you change on me,
Dont you change on me.
Girl,
Girl, youre my lucky star,
Baby, dont change on me,
Dont change on me,
Dont ya change.
I love ya
Just the way you are,
I love ya just the way you are,
Love ya just the way you are.
Girl, youre my lucky star,
Dont change on me,
Yeah, dont change on me.

Dark Side Of The World
(nickolas ashford/valerie simpson)
Dont leave me, dont leave me here
On the dark side of the world
My days are darker than your nights
Since I lost you babe
Since I lost you babe
Im like an ember
Fading out of sight
One more tear and I know Ill disappear
Bring back the sunshine
That you took away
Cause I need ya
And I want ya
Just dont think Im gonna make it without your love
Dont you know
Such a loneliness Ive never known
Since I lost you babe
Since I lost you babe
Im like a woman who once knew splendour
Now all her wealth and riches
They are gone
Bring back the sunshine
That you took away
Cause I need ya
And I want ya
And I just dont think Im gonna make it without your love
Bring back the sunshine that you took away
Now my future lies in back of me
Since I lost you babe
Since I lost you babe
I walk this lonely road to eternity
Just despair and emptiness everywhere
Bring back the sunshine
That you took away
Cause I need ya
And I want ya
I just dont think Im gonna make it without your love
Dont leave me, dont leave me here
On the dark side of the world
Oh dont you leave me here
On the dark side of the world
Cause I need ya
Ooh you know I want ya
Right here on the dark side of the world

Lost and Found
For so long my heart was trapped in darkness,
My soul was filled with pain,
No one will ever know my sorrow,
It just felt like there would be no tomorrow.
Then one day you were lurking,
In the deep shadows of my mind,
I asked myself why I felt so lost,
Was it You I was meant to find?
I watch You from a distance,
Yet Your presence was is clear,
To me You are a mystery,
You are so far away,
Yet so very near.
Now You are always with me,
Of that fact I'm sure,
I am safe in Your presence,
Forever more.
My God You found me,
When I had no hope of being found,
My heart and soul rejoice now,
The darkness is no more around.

Pain for you
This pain is for you
Many things I believe for you is pain
I dont want any pain from you but I accepted your pain
I'll take the pain from you forever
Pain can be your own mistake
pain can lead to your own troubles
pain can lead to anything inside of you
you just need to get some help
you need some assistances to get you out of the pain
Many pains cannot be removed
many can stay forever and ever
many think pain isnt nothing for them
pain is everything you learn from outside world
you may get it someday
someday you will see what I learn from pain
you can see me with cuts on my arms
that was pain, everything I want is pain
Love is pain too you know
you left me alone in the outside world
pain is getting inside of me, not letting me go
I'm alone in the darkness of shadows
This pain is for you
Many things I believe for you is pain
I dont want any pain from you but I accepted your pain
I'll take the pain from you forever
This pain is everything painful has it is
ready for everything is to be done for you
I'll be ready for everyone's pain
Every shadows of darkness is there inside of me
tearing me apart to learn from you and the people
So I'll take everyone's pain away
so you can tell me about your pain and
forever pure

Long Way Around
You say what you say
And you pray that one day
Youll be seen between the shadows
Now thats a waist of your pain
Living your life like a saint
When it dont...no
It dont even matter
Even saints make their mistakes
Letting their dreams fall and break
All it feels like
Living in sunshine with the shades pulled down
Now I want you to see
How good life can be
You can turn around
And better your life
With the good times found
People will always take the long way around
Before you know it youll be lost and found
Living in sunshine with the shades pulled down
People will always take the long way around
People will always take the long way around
Before you know it youll be lost and found
Living in sunshine with the shades pulled down
People will always take the long way around
Im not afraid of pride
When its for the right side
Dont betray what I believe in
Stand where you want to stand
And Ill believe when I can
cause Im telling you now
I been where youre living in
People will always take the long way around
Before you know it youll be lost and found
Living in sunshine with the shades pulled down
People will always take the long way around
People will always take the long way around
Before you know it youll be lost and found
Living in sunshine with the shades pulled down
People will always take the long way around
Will tomorrow keep its promise
No one here can say
The past is all behind us
And all we have is today
And all we have is today
People will always take the long way around
Before you know it youll be lost and found
Living in sunshine with the shades pulled down
People will always take the long way around
People will always take the long way around
Before you know it youll be lost and found
Living in sunshine with the shades pulled down
People will always take the long way around

Sunshine
Sunshine, you may find my window
But you wont find me
And sunshine, Ive got my friend of darkness here
Tonight to hide me.
So sunshine, as far as Im concerned
Im where I want to be
And sunshine, as far as youre concerned
Dont be concerned for me.
'Cause she doesnt love me anymore
She doesnt want me, Lord
She doesnt need me anymore
She grew tired of chasing rainbows
But I loved her true
And God you know I tried.
And I guess she was right
'Cause Im at the end
I found the part but theres no golden sun.
So sunshine, cant you see Im not alone
Dont bother me
And sunshine, pick up your dawn
And move on down the street...

I Dont Really Want You
Dennis linde
We were going together for a long long time and it breaks my heart girl
To see you walking with some other guy
I been sitting alone here with a worried head
Ive been talking to some downtown girls but dont believe the things that I have said
Cause girl dont you know I only tried to hide the pain when I said
I dont really love you, I dont really want you,
I dont want to have you, I dont really love you
Now were hitting the daylight, morning looking sad
Never knew a guy could feel as lonely as Im feelin oh so bad
Time is going slowly dragging like a weight
Like to say Im sorry but deep down in my heart its just too late
Cause girl dont you know I only tried to hide the pain when I said
I dont really want you, I dont really need you,
I dont want to have you, I dont really love you
We were going together for a long long time
And it breaks my heart girl to see you walking with some other guy
Still I keep on trying lonely as Ive been
Got to get your sweet, sweet smile to get that lovin feeling back again
Cause girl dont you know I only tried to hide the pain when I said
I dont really want you, I dont really need you, I dont want to have you,
I dont really love you, I dont really want you I dont really need you,
I dont want to have you, I dont really love you

Who Is There
someone is here
and they want to hurt me
then im braced for the pain

Hope Of Deliverance
I will always be hoping, hoping.
You will always be holding, holding
My heart in your hand. I will understand.
I will understand someday, one day.
You will understand always,
Always from now until then.
When it will be right, I dont know.
What it will be like, I dont know.
We live in hope of deliverance from the darkness that surrounds us.
Hope of deliverance, hope of deliverance.
Hope of deliverance from the darkness that surrounds us.
And I wouldnt mind knowing, knowing
That you wouldnt mind going, going along with my plan.
When it will be right, I dont know.
What it will be like, I dont know.
We live in hope of deliverance from the darkness that surrounds us.
Hope of deliverance, hope of deliverance.
Hope of deliverance from the darkness that surrounds us.
Hope of deliverance, hope of deliverance.
Hope of deliverance from the darkness that surrounds us.
Hope of deliverance, hope of deliverance.
Hope of deliverance from the darkness that surrounds us.
Hope of deliverance, hope of deliverance.
Hope of deliverance from the darkness that surrounds us.

Darkness all around
Theres a darkness thats always around.
Its within the light of the day.
And over takes the sunshine.
There never was any light for me to see.
Never a hand to reach.
Never a ear to hear.
No eye to see my pain.
I accept I'll have darkness forever.
I already no thats my fate.
The darkness looms worse than a shadow.
It like a black cloud.
The darkness is always near.
My pleas it does not adear.
The darkness is called depression.
Once it had its grip.
I knew it would never leave.

Here Comes Sunshine
Wake of the flood, laughing water, forty-nine,
Get out the pans, dont just stand there dreamin
Get out of the way, get out of the way,
Here comes sunshine, here comes sunshine.
Line up a long shot maybe try it two times, maybe more,
Good to know you got shoes to wear when you find the floor,
Why hold out for more?
Here comes sunshine, here comes sunshine.
Askin you nice, now, keep the mother rollin
One more time, been down before,
You just dont have to go no more, no more.
Here comes sunshine, here comes sunshine.

Dont Talk About It
I was staring at the people
Lost and terrified
Turned and saw you smiling
My heart was terrorised
Lust among the millions
Another suicide
Chorus:
When I think that love was there
Dont wanna talk about it
Dont wanna talk about it
The pain we share
While they just talk about it
While they just talk about it
A hand reached out to touch me
A letter hit the pile
I felt my life revolving
Like fingers in a dial
Just then I stopped believing
But only for a while
When I think that love was there
Dont wanna talk about it
Dont wanna talk about it
The pain we share
While they just talk about it
While they just talk about it
When I think that love was there
Dont wanna talk about it
Dont wanna talk about it
Dont give it up
Dont count on their loving
Dont give it up, dont try
Dont give it up
Dont count on their loving
Dont give it up, dont try
Dont wanna talk about it
Dont wanna talk about it
(chorus)
When I think that love was there
I was staring at the people
Lost and terrified
Turned and saw you crying
A victim of your pride
But you are no civilian
So open up your eyes
(chorus)

Its Gone
I dont know how it happened but it did
I dont know why its over but it is
I dont know where it comes from when its on
I dont know where it goes to but its gone.
You used to brush my mind with tender thoughts
We could say it all and never talk
But lately our loves only flesh and bone
I dont know where it went to but its gone
Chorus
We used to light the darkness up,
Make love without a touch
Be ourselves and never be alone,
Somethin lived between us then
I always thought would never end
But like the wind I guess it just moved on
I dont know where it went to
But its gone.
I dont understand it but I know
The blush of love once bright no longer glows
And I cant put it back by hangin on
I dont know where it went to but its gone.
Chorus
I dont know where it went to but its gone.

Childhood Swept Away
My childhood is lost.
Darkness swept it up and away.
No way to get it back.
Gone forever still recalls,
The pain I suffered.
My childhood lost.
Darkness here to stay.
Bleak existents ever more.

What have i done
Im in a room with you and its eating me alive
I am in the darkness while you're in the light
I thought what we did would satisfy my itch
But all its done is make me feel like a selfless bitch
I fell for you and your traps and i cant take the guilt
I am feeling pain i have never felt
I dont know what im suppose to do
I cant just go on ignoring you
I cant run away from my fears
I am tired of holding back all these tears
I cant stand whats happening its making me inasne
You are the only thing on my brain
I dont know why but i cant conectrate on anything else
This is unlike anything ive ever felt
How do i defeat this overewhelming pain and terror
I cant stand to look at myself in my own mirror
I dont know how i am suppose to cope
I've tried talking but still no hope
I try escaping through music
everything im deeming useless
I feel like ive been used
I feel like ive been abused
I hate myself more then ever before
Its as if my lifeless body is left bleeding away on the floor
I write this with you in the same room sitting a few rows back
my hands are trembling and i feel like im having a heart attache
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh i scream inside and im trying to claw my way out
but im stuck and theres now way out of this cold dark house
the house of fear and pain
the house where theres nothing but rain
the house in which ive resided for many years
the house in which is made by my tears

You Can Dance If You Want To
we can dance if we want to
We can leave your friends behind
Cause your friends dont dance
And if they dont dance
Well they're no friends of mine
Say, we can go where we want to
A place where they will never find
And we can act like we come from out of this world
Because you're one far behind
We can dance
We can go where we want to
The night is young and so am i
And we can dress real neat
From out hats to our feet
Then surprise them with a big trick ride
Say, we can act if we want to
If we dont, nobody will
And you can act real rude
And totally removed
And i can act like an imbusil
Say, we can dance
We can dance
Everything's outta control
We can dance
We can dance
We're doing it more and more
We can dance
We can dance
Everybody look at your hands
We can dance
We can dance
Everybody's taking the cha-nce
It's safe to dance
Oh well, it's safe to dance
Yes, it's safe to dance
We can dance if we want to
We've got all your life and mine
As long as we abuse it
Never gonna lose it
Everything will work out right
I say, we can dance if we want to
We can leave your friends behind
Because your friends dont dance
And if they dont dance
Well they're no friends of mine
I say, we can dance
We can dance
Everything's outta control
We can dance
We can dance
We're doing it more and more
We can dance
We can dance
Everybody look at your hands
We can dance
We can dance
Everybody's taking the cha-ance
Well, it's safe to dance
Yes, it's safe to dance
Well, it's safe to dance
Oh well, it's safe to dance
Ah yes, it's safe to dance
Well, it's safe to dance
It's safe to dance
